Board OF Levee Commissioners.

There will be called meeting

ering work necessary for the com.
ing season.
Owing to the early decline of the
river Chief Engineer Startling will
have been enabled to sufficiently
extend his examinations to report
upon the bulk of work to be done.
This will permit the regular letting
at the July meeting. instead of in
September as usual; which is on
many accounts desirable. OF
course there will have to be a sup.
Elemental letting; as the engineer
will not be able to determine the
work necessary TO certain points

Land Values.

The Board Of Supervisors pub
fishes notice to the land owners
in this issue of the TINES. II is
upon q topic, land values, the de
parture from tho vicious and de.
moralizing custom of false values
for assessment purposes, which
we have written upon heretofore
by the column. In lieu of q repe.
tition Of our convictions on the
subject, VIC invite discussion by
those directly interested the land
owners of tho county. In this
manner the Board may be made
generally and accurately aware of
the prevailing sentiment. We
publish communication, written
before the order of the Board.
from q large and representative
land owner; Hon. j. T. Atterbury.
We urge that others give the pub.
lie their views and voices against
an indeiensible practice.
There is such confusion upon
this question that the land owners
generally are practically leaving
the classification aud valuation of
their lands to the Board which is
the reason for the order calling
the meeting.

Land Valuations.
EsrILL, April T. 1887.

AaNA AAAA-f - F~-- >
To the Greenyille Times:
We are again called upon to
value our real estate for assess
ment purposes. And in the new
roll there should be q very differ
ent showing from the old; some
thing where the assessed aud the
true value should be a little closer
together.
In my opinion the land in cult.
walton should be valued at least at
twenty dollars per acre; and wood.
land at least at two dollars pei
acre.
There should be a uniformity in
the valuations of all the counties
of this Leyee District; that there
may be no injustice in collecting
our leyee tributes. There should
be a prOpOrtionate increase in
Greenville and other town lots.
We would suggest to our Board
of Supervisors the propriety ol
adopting some means to get an
equitable and just assessment ol
all the real estate In our Levee
district.
Yours truly,
j. 7. ATTERBURY.

THE POCKET VETO.
It's Es.s. On work Of .. River C'HHl''i'H-


It's Eject On Work Of tie River ConniIii'n'
After showing why the pocket
veto Of iii River and HarbOr Bill
will not 1ve especially injurious
to the work Of improvement upon
the rivers aud harbors generally !
Gen. Parke thus refers TO its dis
astrous effects on the Mississippi
rlyer work:
"All this, continued Gen. Parke,
differs when it comes 10 the Mis-
sisslppi river, where the failure OF
the rivers and harbOrs bill Is a ma
tional misfortune. The commits
sion had proceeded with the work
on well defined and long begun
plans. They had contracted for
labor and material to the full extent
of the appropriation, and when the
money is exhausted they will be
left with a plant on their hands
which could not be replaced tor
thousands of dollars, and which
yet would require large sum to
keep intact. In addition to this
loss the cessation of operations at
certain points will doubtless retard
success when work is again re-
sumed.p
1t is at least gratifying to know
that Gen. Parke so intelllgently
appreciates and unreseryedly ap'
proves the river commission work
Gen. Parke very truly said that
the chief trouble with the improve
ment of the rivers and harbors lay
In the fact that the appropriation
was not certain and fixed. II would
be much better il q less amount
was appropriated each year than
a larger spasmodically. The en-
gineers would know just how
much to expect, and could make
their plans accordingly, without
fear of being caught without funds
the next year.
